The Trad Wife Epidemic Is Insane

Yep! 💯

Absolutely!

exactly what i said

Haha me too, me too

But were you a model before?

🤣🤣 love this

HEY!
Where did my comment go?
Did RUclips eat it?

As a single male that lives alone, from what I've learned in life.....don't need any type of wife.

My favorite quote from whoever is you cannot control what people say, think or do. All you can decide is how you will respond to it. Worrying about things you have no control over is a waste of time and energy.

@@JAM661 Mine is "Never try to prove anything to anyone, time will prove everything."

They are actually misquoting Roosevelt. The quote is:'Comparison is the thief of joy.'

Don't look into other people's windows. You will never truly know what it's like inside.

Good qoute

She's cosplaying that lifestyle, glamming it up. She's so rich she can cosplay homemaking. You know she has nannies preoccupying the toddlers while she makes content.

Good point

U really know what you're talking about 🌟 Yes, batches are efficient & ready for you later on

I absolutely agree with you. What really irks me about Nara Smith is how unrealistic it is to prepare all those foods in the time frame she allude to: toddler wants PBJ or yogurt that morning so she starts a batch from scratch at that moment (as if a toddler would wait that long). I find it inspiring to want to make everything from scratch, but please at least make it realistic. Viewers who aspire to cook more or from scratch can be easily led to think it's that simple, and it can be discouraging. Not everyone had the chance or opportunity to be taught.

she probably saves the rest of what the kids don’t eat and that’s leftovers… chill out.

That means that their mission is nearly complete.

Hey hey hey, I cook my frozen pizzas in the oven, like Jesus intended. Because my microwave is broken.

See, im a chef, and I think this woman is ridiculous 🤷🏼‍♀️I make things from scratch too but im not so stupid that im going to start a 10hr process when my kids ask me for breakfast, why don’t we go out and find the brush bush and start brushing our teeth with that like they Had to back when we lived in caves, because it’s so cute and fun and trad wifey, yay! I don’t care what anyone says. I’ve worked Tom Douglas restaurants amongst others, I don’t see how get making basic things from scratch means she could work in a high level chef type environment 😂that’s a Hilarious comparison. “Gourmet cooks” LMAO
That said, I think what they’re doing is fine, literally Who Cares but when it gets not ok is when they start with the (and many tik tok trad wives do) “I think it’s so wrong how other women don’t want to live like this” like it’s a travesty we get to be high level chefs in Michelin Star restaurants, doctors, lawyers, and not bound to the kitchen, poor us, Wah. I think promoting that is gross and wrong, I think shoving women into any box is gross and wrong; if there’s non of that, then Go Off, Trad Wife!! lol it’s simple, y’all

@@ModernInka the clips reminded me of the "my toddler came in this morning and said, 'daddy, why is it that you feel the need to post comments I'm way too young to comprehend in order to pretend I'm unusually precocious?'" posts. they also remind me of the old "sylvia" newspaper comics which featured segments with "the woman who does everything more beautifully than you" - who was a joke about Martha Stewart.

Yra because the influencers only are influencing flocks of sheep

A TradWife IS an influencer who promotes a traditional lifestyle. A traditional wife isn’t a traditional wife although name is inspired it’s its own thing now

I think that the outrage is misplaced but I understand how some people may feel that even though they are technically not a traditional wife they are still using their platform to promote traditional patriarchal values. Personally I don’t see this as being any different than someone like the barefoot contessa with the exceptions that it’s not the cooking network and this woman is extremely young.

Yeah I think people forget that she makes content for money, and she chose aesthetic cooking videos

Yes, someone who dresses like her to make homemade food, who looks impeccable, she's got a crew helping her. Someone's watching the kids, someone's helping with the house, probably someone is buying and prepping the food she makes and there's a cameraperson/editor. She might even have someone doing her hair/makeup.
If anyone has actually made any kind of food, especially with kids around, nothing ever looks like that. 🤣

yeah, nara smith is on maternity leave bc she is a supermodel and she was pregnant so she started cooking from scratch more because she had the time 🤷🏽‍♀️

That is my main beef. I see no need to hate on these women, but I don't like that they promote a role for women that they themselves don't see fit to stick to.

City people 100% do NOT have any concept🤣 I grew up on a dairy farm & then went to college right outside of NYC. I moved back home after college & had a few old college friends come visit. The thing that folks don't understand is that 'farm' is vastly different from region to region. In MY upstate NY farming community, we are all broke ass poor😂. We are routinely holding any piece of equipment together with baling twine or old fencing LOL. And it is actually a very economically depressed rough area - not very beautiful or idyllic in many ways. My friends could not get over the soul crushing poverty that I am surrounded by (they thought only poor people & druggies lived in the hood) & had the impression that everyone in my area lived on small, cute, well-kept farms with little red barns & chickens running around. What they were not prepared for was the meth heads living down the road in a shitty trailer with no skirting & junk cars everywhere & CPS & the state police being a constant presence on our road, no running water, etc... LOL. But if you look at regions of USA with farms like Ballerina Farms, absolutely MUST be wealthy. With acreage going for $3,000+ PER ACRE. Yeah, $$$$$$$. And good for her. Wish it was me. my farm? baling twine & old fencing has to do for now.

Farm people are sometimes cash poor (especially if they keep buying more farmland), but these dates farmers tend to be extremely wealthy asset-wise because of the extreme appreciation in farmland prices.

@@tarazieminek1947 only out west, I think. No farm families around my area are land wealthy, asset wealthy or cash wealthy. What you are referring to are farms like ranches. & big agri-businesses that should not even consider themselves farms/farmers. Dairy farmers in my region make the same hundred weight milk check that they were making in the 1970s.

Lol I live in like a country/beach area (small town) and I can confirm that all the farmers here are LOADED 😂 and if they’re struggling it’s either bad investments, kids are on drugs, or they’re not up-keeping their families farm.

Exactly. I spent quite a bit of time in the Vancouver area a while ago, And the absolute hugest most over-the-top houses were on the farms! Just a big patch of farmland in a and a huge ass mansion 😂 No one there thinks farmers are poor.

That's how I cooked in Runescape. "Oop, I need a pizza, time to go kill a few cows, travel the land in search of wheat, cheese, tomato..."

That’s pretty funny ngl and it feels mostly light hearted despite the violence

Well I mean, that’s how hamburgers are made so hey it works 🤷‍♀️

Went from tradwife to masculine hunting urge 😂

Reminded me of a guy who started to eat exclusively raw meat so he would call a farmer and buy the full alive goat directly from them and then he would kill it and eat

for real, if I wasn't a middle-aged grandpa with like no hope of ever naming a child again, Whimsy just moved to the top of my girl's names list.

Reminds me of kids that are named things like “hope” or “Justice”

To be fair some Disney names are in my opinion good and if not too weird sounding there's nothing wrong, but if someone call their kid Simba then they should have someone else to change their name.

@@cheese-and-ricemooney7487There is a girl named Simba on YT.

I wonder if they're just code names so they don't give out their identity without consent

You can laugh at there kids names but you can laugh at Elon Musk's kids' names? Or other names like Stormy or Blue Ivy?! Really?! You don't see the hypocrisy in that?😂😂

Feminists: Women can be whatever they want! Woman: I want to cook and take care of my husband and our house and our kids Feminists: No not that!

Then don't watch them or be their friends. Pretty easy. Move on.

The Mormon church supports the patriarchy. Women are not given a choice to stay sweet, get married very young, a virgins, and start popping out kids immediately! Do some research, people. This is all PR for the Mormon church, which has $25 billion, more than Disney, more than Pepsi.

So true

Had to read that a couple times, but, yes, I agree.

Sounds like a "YOU" problem. Buy a car, get a husband, and quit your job. You'll be amazed at how much more time you'll gain to do tradition things.

Well the fact that had already stated that the video are things they do every once and awhile, do often but are NOT every day. They do not make homemade cereal every day. They have said that several times.

After @alandab's comment, I just wanted to say that you're cool. I'm sure a good portion of tradwife haters are envious while doing nothing, but you're working hard and not being jealous. You're a great person and probably a good mom

@@alandab I'm not sure where you see that I said any problems? I'm very happy with my life. My job at a hospital helping people doesn't let me park my car there, so I take public transit, and I love my wife, who also works very hard, very much. I do "traditional" as you call them things as a hobby when I do have time, and I love my hobbies all the more for it.

@@a-sharp-like-note Thank you, not a mom yet, though we're talking about it! Just someone who loves her hobbies of gardening and cooking from scratch and textile arts while not trying to push myself to "standards" others sometimes perceive or show.

Amen!! Was scrolling through to see if anyone posted this yet!

@@mamabridge4710 thank you I appreciate the support. I just don’t understand why people, especially women, are trying to police other women’s lives. If you don’t like the trad wife dynamic don’t be one it really is that simple. Our lives are hard enough without trying to police each other’s lifestyles

​@@annieb3883 The thing people hate most trad wives for is that they themselves are disingenuous internalized misogynists who shit on women who work and say that all a woman should ever do is stay home and care for a husband. Also, they don't believe in women going to college, having her own separate money or not being submissive to her husbands, which are all very obvious things that can prevent abusive relationships that most women cannot leave.

The movie “Mona Lisa Smile” said it best for me. When Julia Styles character chooses to be a housewife, you get to choose what you want to be and not because you can’t.

FACTS

Yeah while cooking, mess happens. Mess on an evening gown could be a very expensive dry cleaning bill,

Totally agree. I never assumed it was real. It was more entertaining and a little bit satirical.

And this woman posting the response video is real? 😂 She's as fake as they come.

More and more sus

One of my friends had to do this. And can really only wear certain fabrics so her style is very specific because of it.

I have to make a lot of things from scratch at home due to allergy to onions. So many day to day foods have onion or onion powder or onion salt I can’t eat. I’m not glamorous when I cook and I cook in bulk and freeze it, but it’s still my reality not being able to buy shop bought food.

I just like natural fibers and unprocessed foods as much as possible, so I started taking inspiration from them.

I believe she was brought up with her mother preparing food this way.

She is beautiful so this was absolutely a good choice.

Or Selphie from final fantasy 8.

I honestly think Kris has the ability to pull off most hair colors. Maybe it's her skin tone. Or maybe I just think she is so cool and pretty she can do no wrong! 😆
I am, however, very partial to this shade of red and I love the bangs with the hair up. I used to try to do this with my hair but it never came out right.

Of course she's not serious. It's fake, and she knows it. What 23 year old, in the history of EVER, can make modern processed foods FROM SCRATCH while wearing a SPOTLESS outfit and then turn the experience into a professionally edited video for social media, while also maintaining an absurdly clean house and raising three children?
Nara Smith is a model. She knows, just like the rest of us, that her career imposes a shelf life on its participants. So she's cashing in on a current trend to make her money while she still can. The fact that people take her seriously is a failing of our educational systems, not the fault of some Mormon model.

​@@jmhaugen4757I'm confused... So then, who's nice, clean house is it that she is always standing in? Do you think a wealthy millionaire doesn't have a super-nice, clean home that gets professionally cleaned? Tell me you have never been in a mansion without telling me you have never been in a mansion. They are always clean like that because money. She is making the food from scratch on camera, so obviously she knows how to make it. It isn't just springing into existence on its own. She is probably following recipes. I don't understand how that is unbelievable? She is obviously wearing nice, clean clothes. When they get dirty you just change them.... What part is it that she is faking exactly? I have heard of the wealthy becoming disconnected from the lives of the poor people, but it looks like the same thing happens to the poor people, they can't even fathom how different the wealthy people's lives are compared to theirs.

This! It’s crazy people assume “kiddo walked into room and asked for X so I made it then and there” is real. Let’s be honest, even if she wasn’t grocery shopping, people seem to forget meal prepping and video editing exist.

I bet she would get so many followers by unpacking a frozen dinner and putting it in the oven!
Ofc people want to see stuff get made, not what they do themself everyday!

Its just a spin on a cooking channel. It has a storyline. That's all.

Well that doesn’t quite fit with her narrative of eating clean bc of her eczema then 😂😂😂

"normal" ? Thats actually pathetic shes so rich and buying so much trash food. No wonder she looks like that

And the money...

My thought exactly, she's not showing later in the week when she's making sandwiches out of the leftover bread she made earlier. She's also not presenting it as "make my weekly loaf of bread with me" but that doesn't mean that those things aren't reality. I had a neighbor man growing up who was in his 90s and every week he still made his loaf of bread for that week. It's not like she's making every single thing every single day.

It's fairly easy to be energetic when you're under the age of 25 and don't have a commute.

@@rosericmercedes2460it’s way cheaper to make food yourself.

It's just a set up for the video, I'm sure in real life she just knows her kids want some yogurt and makes it without waiting for them to ask.

@@badgergearcompound7667 I want you to know that us Australians think of Canadians as the favourite uncles :)

I am wondering... why so many people see only two ways? Tradwife or a girlboss. There are so many other ways to live once life. You can have both if you want, you can have neighter if you want too. To each their own.

I had two blessed years of being a stay at home mom. Then I had to send my son to preschool, because I had to work part-time to support the family.

Maybe I should start a tradwife account with my 1980s wood cabinet microwave-cooking-for-one kitchen in which I’m forced to make meals from scratch because of food allergies

Women that do lots of stuff for their families and make sacrifices for them are the best women though, and they will be taken care of when they are older and have grandchildren. I would tear up even the extended family if any of them went against either of my grandmothers, and I normally never go against the clan.

I think Nara would be fine if her channel was all about: "I love baking and the way I'll do it will be in an empty kitchen, dressed up in ball gowns, and with a calm voice like I'm on valium, and this will be my thing to set me apart, and yeah, incidentally my family will benefit later from having something tasty to eat" - cool, I'd watch it! It's the fact that she presents it as "this is how I actually live, this is how my kitchen actually looks, this is how I actually feed my family at all times". I mean... WHERE are those children (bored and starving) when she's dressing up and spending hours baking bread?

Some people who are poor don't have the choice to stay home. Rich and poor come in many flavors.

Being a CEO of a Fortune 500 company is not realistic for most people but it happens and is respected and promoted. I’m sure the CEO realises their life is not realistic for most.

This 🏆

Yes these ones on social media are, but please know there are many trad wives who can be poor and struggle with finances because childcare is still too expensive out there.

@@soulserenade.kcn1992 That's not a 'tradwife' that's economic necessity. Tradwife IS being rich enough to do this. It's out of choice.

You kinda have to be upper middle class to be a trad wife now

Legit! Tradwives are just rich women cosplaying as homesteaders. It's wild.

What movie did he say that in?

@ i think it was gossip girl…?

Somewhere (Etsy?) I saw adorable tiny animals, hearts, butterflies and such made as refrigerator magnets! OT, yes, but you reminded me of that lol

I think the point is that it's harmful to women's lib. We have tried for so long to be equals to men and not be seen as submissive, baby factories. Most women these days do not want that lifestyle and seeing it pop up everywhere is trying to force women back in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant. Look at the US with the Christofascism that's going on. They're trying to turn back the clock and take away a women's right to choose their lifestyle. I think it's harmful to women who just want to live their lives and not be forced into something they don't want. Men will probably stumble across these videos and go "see this is what women really do want!" I would bet that most tradwives are being forced into the role because they got stuck and/or brainwashed into thinking that's what their whole life should be. Maybe not these tiktockers but they're certainly not helping matters by saying "Oooh look at me all perfect and pristine while I make my family a 5 course meal from scratch." They're fueling the fire. It's the Donna Reed ideology. Gotta be perfect for the husband. Gotta have dinner on the table at a certain time. Gotta clean house while looking voluptuous in case the man shows up while she's scrubbing the toilet. It's freakin' fairy tale.

Fr why are people judging clearly all of this is just for views.

Completely agree. The only problem is that there are soooo many people who do it unwillingly and are trapped because of it. 💔

@@terrabyte5847 yes i know several people who have gotten forced into this type of lifestyle and are completely miserable but are so brainwashed that they think that they just mist be doing something wrong as a wife and mother to make things bad.

wanna share that corn dog recipe? :)

@@TriSci42 I'll have to locate it, but it might have been an old old Betty Crocker recipe that was simply cornmeal, self rising flour, some sugar and salt...you know, the basics.
But she preferred foster farms chicken franks, unpackaged, laid out on paper towels, covered in paper towels, and allowed to warm up to room temperature to discourage any condensation or sweating from the weiners.
That was very important to her recipe, using those franks and getting them warmed up.
We bought wooden dowels from the hardware store and cut them to length and even used clothespins screwed to a piece of wood to hang the dogs into the hot oil.

@@TriSci42 oooo can't forget the powdered mustard mixed into the batter either

Your perspective is that she loved it. Most of our grandmothers had no choice so they had to act like they loved doing all that shit, when really they were dying on the inside. Not saying this was how your grandma truly felt, just saying it's easy for you to say that what she projected on the outside was the absolute truth.

@@JS-dv9ji well then...who is really dying on the inside right now???

​@@bt4953Controlling CAN be on both sides you know?
It is more common between men that they are controlling but if you believe a woman can't be controlling (coming from a woman) you need a reality check if you genuinely believe a woman can't be controlling.

That is not what being a trad wife is. I'm also a stay at home mom, also the happiest i've ever been, i consider it an incredible privilege to be able to stay with my son, and i love to keep a clean and beautiful home for my family. But i am not a tradwife, BECAUSE i don't think it is my role to do so. It's what i chose to do, and every woman has the right to chose to do what make them happy. Stay at home and nurse your baby until 3 ? Awesome ! Go back to work as soon as you can because you need to have a life outside the house ? Perfect ! As long as it is the right choice for you, do whatever you want !

well the issue is that they could very well be causing harm. like one person said, they're selling you propaganda and the illusion of a life that they themselves don't even live. it's a very far-right "women belong in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant" ideology that in turn attacks feminists and the very idea of gender equality. i don't think it's harmless to promote an ideology that demands women accept subjugation and subservience in their marriage.

the only problem i have is that it took 2 hours to make jelly for a pb&j for her kids and thats just crazy to me

@@gamespc-zi6zo Yeah, it takes hours to make some stuff, and can't be made spur of the moment. Preparing/making generally needs to be planned ahead. I love making things from scratch, but the time involved does put a damper on it at times. 🤷🏻‍♀️

If they are members of the LDS church ( or Mormon), then they are causing harm. To be a member, you have to pay tithes which the LDS church then uses to cause harm to others. Same with other tradwives who are religious and attend churches that cause harm. Like Estee, the blonde woman with curls shown in the intro. She is extremely transphobic and homophobic.

That side hustle is called having a provider man. Just like my wife. Stays at home with our kids on our land in our house. Makes bread and cooks everyday. There’s a lot of trad wives that have cracked the code to a good life that aren’t on social media. And by cracked the code I mean being a woman that a good man would want to provide for so she can be a good woman/mother/wife.

Why do some people think that you’re being lazy to raise your own kids, then they hire a nanny to do it for them? A nanny does less around the home than a wife does, yet she gets paid for it and the wife has to work full time in order to afford it? Makes no sense. It’s just propaganda so that more people are working and the government gets paid more taxes.

I come from a diff culture, we make things from scratch. In fact, if you don't live in the west you make or some parts of Asia you have to make things from scratch.

This is absolutely not true.

Plenty of men cook and like to do it. Let’s let them do it.

@@HalfB The problem is our culture only seems to value women who sacrifice themselves. If you stay at home, you’re considered more virtuous but economically vulnerable. If you work outside the home, in the US, you are made to understand in no uncertain terms that any maternity leave or child care is a favor that your employer and our society does not need to provide (because if you stayed at home, it wouldn’t be anyone’s problem). But our nation can’t just have all the women go home and give up their jobs. We also went through that period of time when women were expected to stay home and take care of the kids 24/7 and many women are just not cut out for that. So it is unrealistic and cruel to balance the world’s economy on the backs of women in perpetuity. One of these days women are going to get angry and realize the incredible power they have to remake our nation in a way that works for the biggest majority. That day will be November 5, 2024. If you’re a SAHM, remember that it may be a temporary position. Look out for yourself as if you had to earn a paycheck and vote accordingly for the people who will have your back.

It’s her job but where did the stability to even pursue that come from? Not everyone that just films their life or makes a job of being a SAHM is successful and you have to have some space to fail and still be secure at the end of the day. These are people backed by rich and or successful spouses, families, etc. and they are literally selling an illusion that’s detrimental to everyday moms and young women in general.

Hah! You apparently have no idea how many men work all day just to come home, cook dinner, vacuum, mop, and do dishes while their wives sit around on the couch complaining about how “I’m depressed, you never do enough for me, if you did maybe you’d get lucky once a year.” It’s crazy how when you raise a generation of women to be irresponsible, then you have a generation of literal sl*ts (their brag not my insult), who want to spend their 20’s sucking every man in town then expect some nice guy to marry them before their ovaries dry up and they become unmarriable, almost like they deserve it or something. Then they expect their husband to be okay with a dead bedroom. No, there are plenty of men who do everything for a wife who complains that he’s not doing enough, and quite honestly women are far happier when they don’t get anything they haven’t directly earned. Men don’t like handouts, women don’t like handouts. Granted if you both work the same field, same job, same hours and bring home the same amount of money, chores can be split 50/50 and that’s fair. But that shouldn’t be a lifelong goal either. Eventually the man is going to have to be a man, get a harder job and work more so the woman can work less and spend more time being a mother. That’s how you get rid of misandry, reduce promiscuity and really how you build long lasting relationships. Men and women have their roles. You can’t swap them. You cannot abuse men for the sake of women. Anything but and society collapses as we’re currently seeing right now.
Edit: I have a family and a successful relationship because I earn the money, I manage the money and thus I am solely responsible for the finances. My wife manages the house, cares for me and mine, and in return she is responsible for the state of the house. I do my job so that she can do hers. And because of that, we have a functioning household on one income. Most households are run by selfish women who expect their man to be a slave, and anything less than slavery is “I feel like a slave to you.” The problem is that women do not know happiness because they think happiness is getting stuff they want. And in reality just a small part of happiness is earning things that are more valuable than the stuff you want. Do your part, accomplish your part no matter how hard it is, you feel fulfilled. Get what you want without earning it responsibly, don’t hold yourself accountable for your actions, you become a depressed feminist cat mom.

​@@elizabeth.601 this person: i have witnessed cases where traditional lifestyles were used to opress women
you: but i am not oppressed!! it did not happen to me personally so it can't be real!! women can only be submissive there is no other way of life!!!
(p.s. you can work a job that satisfies you, abusive workplace environments are not the norm. i bet you would have gotten real mad if someone said all husbands are abusive 🤭)

​@killer_queen4062 yeah what a weird take. Either submissive to work or submissive to my husband? Like neither is an option?
It's just easier to replace a job than a husband.
Also you have no where to escape to if all the BS is at home with your husband lol

@@elizabeth.601 I am sorry you felt attacked, but I did NOT say all religious housewives are oppressed. And I agree with you, what you describe is NOT oppression. The oppression I am referring to includes physical violence perpetrated by the head of the family towards his wife and children. The oppression I am referring to includes condoning this violence through religious texts. You don't have to believe me. I lived it so I don't get the option of ignorance in this particular matter.

I very much want to be something similar to a tradwife in the future. I want to take care of my beloved but in no way do i think other women can’t do what they want with their lives.
I dont get why people are so mad at a tradwife for doing what she wants when they’re happy.

@@autophobiac.
Thank you for responding, it made me realize that I should definitely have expressed something more clearly: by no means am I criticizing or judging TradWife life! It's obviously not for everyone, but it's very clearly 'for' a whole bunch of people!
Personally, I feel much the same as you...while not a TradWife, I am a homemaker, and I take a lot of pride in my home, in how much money my work at home saves us, and how happy my husband is when I present him with a home-cooked meal!
Especially nowadays, 'TradWife' can be a challenging lifestyle to live, and I have a lot of respect for anyone passionate and committed enough to pursue it so wholeheartedly.
Nobody should be criticized for living the life that makes them happy, as long as they're safe! (....unless they're criminals.)
Much love, all the best!

Yes! You are good enough. And honestly that goopy store-bought tzatziki is inedible after you tasted homemade 😂

“What’s wrong with store bought?” ~ It’s typically over processed & overpriced

Store bought is fine but in my case I have allergies to preservatives and food colorants so I have to cook everything from scratch. Still in my culture is common at least

Some things are fine store bought (and sometimes necessary), but in general it sucks.

Most farmers have normal Monday-Friday jobs and do all their farm work on weekends or whenever they have time and they do most of it themselves. No they don't usually have employees. And what does farming have to do with being a tradwife?

This! I'm autistic as well and I find being at home much more comforting. If in the future I am given the chance to work remotely while also be able to take care of the house and the kids, I'd love to. The outside world is overstimulating, often times stifling, but I know not everyone has the same world view.

Autistic? Of course you are.

You two are autistic too? Isn't it great?

Femininity is so beautiful. It also terrifies a lot of people and so they want to suppress it in themselves and in others. It is the freedom to be creative. To be nurturing and to be emotional. That kind of vulnerability requires incredible courage. This can feel quite intimidating to people who don’t understand it fully. Don’t let them influence you. Do what feels right for your feminine nature ❤

why not glamorize your life? i glamorize everything i touch. not for social media (which i don’t post on) but for my own enjoyment, & for everyone around me.

This was my concern as well. It is admirable what she does. There is just a hint of being inauthentic that I can’t exactly put my finger on. But hopefully I’m just being cynical.

Yes, this! And I think she is infact hurting other women by portraiting her life as if it is normal, and make them doubt themselves for their REAL and messy lives. Not to mention: Where are the men caring for the kids and food? Ugh, na, really not my cup of tea.

My husband provides de money for me to cook and take care of our children and it is beautiful, yes it is not easy but it is posible, and if you don’t like it don’t do it they are not making you watch the videos😂😂😂😂😂

@@CuteAngeliica I did not make any judgement on anyone in my comment, as long as you’re happy with your life that’s all that matters, I only expressed a concern that a young person may look at this content and think it’s reality.

Agreed. Feminism is about choices, not one right choice for every woman. Also, caring for children, cooking, cleaning has a clear economic value, as anyone who outsources those jobs knows.

Was gonna post the same thing! I couldn’t agree more- it’s all about choice of the life you wanna live, no forcing one set path. The only time when I feel tradwives (or anyone for that matter) need to be called out is when they’re saying it must be forced as the only path in life!

I think what most take issue with is in (at least in the back of their head) they feel like they are being sold on something, most these videos have a tone to them. I am not so sure people really have a problem with what they are doing but more how its making them feel. For me personally I get an overwhelming feeling of fakeness when I see these that I just can't quite put my finger on if that makes sense. But then there are people that just want to be mad at something XD so there is always that too. I don't know why people have a need to attack people though even if their content makes them feel something they dont like. I am only referencing the ones not trying to recruit to be clear, because thats a whole topic onto itself.

We should all be going after Pearl, not this chick. She’s just doing her thing and sharing it with all of us. Idk why people are mad. Her life is goals for me lol

@@mromutt You cant use the argument "they feel like they're being sold on something" when thats literally the entire influencer space in every single category, you're ALWAYS being "sold" on something, whether or not you're gullible/impressionable enough and fall into the sell, thats on you.

I guess the good thing is, her kids won't have any expectation of instant gratification. "my toddler came in wanting Kraft easymac, so first I built a plastic factory to make the little microwaveable cups..."

How does driving include a furnace? Are you trying to make a steam engine? She makes things her kids want from scratch on social media. Do you think she does this all the time? Glad my mother was a "trad wife". I would have never been able to show love and take care of those I love as adequately if I had only been influenced by my fathers strong hand. There is a big reason men are leaving the US to find a decent traditional woman.

Why are u mad…. Her kids are eating healthy. I would wish to have something like that. Tf is wrong with u just bc ur parents don’t make food for you and made you eat frozen foods cause they’re broke doesn’t mean she needs to do that too. Weirdo go get a life and stop hating on a person you have no idea who she is and how she lives. she literally says she doesn’t do that everyday like be Frr…

Also my family had one of those ovens, it’s called an aga, they’re cheaper in the long run, heats the entire house and makes food tastes gorgeous

Well, in Donna Reed’s day, she couldn’t have a bank account or credit card in her own name, so let’s be realistic about what life was like for women until 1974. That’s great that your mom did all that, as long as it was her choice, and she wasn’t forced or pressured into it.

Exactly. ​@@kconway2263

They still exist, they just aren’t on tik tok. 😉

my mom was like this too. stay at home mom. home cooked meal six nights a week the family sits down to eat together. now my daughter and i eat takeout in different rooms. i miss my mom

​@@kittervision if you can recognize the cognitive dissonance between how you liked your upbringing and don't like the current relationship you experience with your kids, only YOU can take the steps you need to to change that

Its not supposed to be relatable. Its supposed to be aspirational. Its no different to those glossy lifestyle magazines that people had on their coffee tables. I enjoy seeing pretty faces, sleek homes, delicious home cooking and cute smiling children dressed smartly. There is nothing wrong with it. Even if you are not well off, seeing aesthetically pleasing things is still nice. If it makes you feel poor and miserable, thats your problem. But dont bitch and moan and make everyone else accept that they are an issue for liking or creating this kind of content

@@elizabeth.601 Yeah, but it's so glossed up it's hard for it to be even aspirational. It just feels unrealistic, and I think some women can get mislead by that, perhaps. Most families these days have to have both parents work for pay for stuff (a regular old nothing-burger house is A MILLION DOLLARS), so making cereal from scratch for anyone other than these highly successful, wealthy influencers is just really kinda annoying, But, yay, good for them.

The content doesn't *make you* feel anything. Your feelings are yours. Take responsibility for them.
If you go into every video expecting to either see either a 1:1 replica of your life (If everything was this, it'd be useless.) or something to whine about because it's different (Many things are this. The human life is not a single, universal experience. We have differences, and that's a good thing.), you're putting your feelings on the chopping block with every vid.
If you go into each vid with the sober realization that you don't have to insert yourself into everything, your feelings don't need to go whacky. It's that easy.

@@elizabeth.601then that's propaganda

I can't afford to put 3 kids in daycare, my entire paycheck would go to just that (not including the gas money to get and come from work)

I agree with both points, but isnt it also exhausting that the rules of social media and the rules of real life are completely different? Anything a women does will be criticized, BUT if its on social media its not real or requires a higher level of social media literacy to understand the irony and therefor should be without criticism, much like art. A stripper on OnlyFans deserves respect for the way she is making money but not the woman working in a strip club based on your "social media literacy" logic. After all. its a job. Right? So why is one woman treated vastly differently in real life because of her job vs the same job online? Why do we just accept that social media isnt real and we should all learn not to take it seriously when its been proven to cause very very real damage? I dont think Nara is doing anything wrong, but i think its irresponsible to talk about the lifestyles being presented without disclosing the full truth.

But let's be real, the women who are uberrich but doing this as their traditional lifestyle, and don't have a massive crew of makeup artists and nannies who feed their kids something in the 9 hours it takes to make the bread and all natural compote and fresh ground peanuts for that peanut butter sandwich, are not lithe and youthful like these women. The years show hard--they are often obese and their skin is aged and wrinkled, and they are devalued for it. People love these mothers but they don't respect them, and their bitterness shows in how they raise their kids, especially their daughters.
*I'm* not saying they are ugly. I think they are beautiful. But lets face it--an older, heavy, wrinkled mother with inner and outer strength is, in general, not respected or celebrated on those 364 days that aren't Mother's Day.

Sure, this is a real lifestyle globally... Posting it on the Internet is a annoying phenomenon.

Agree completely. This was a great video with several good, common sense reminders of how we should be consuming social media. However, I also agree with you completely - it’s a really important aspect that wasn’t discussed. I don’t care about the “it’s not realistic” aspect, I absolutely worry about the people who fall for the romanticized trad wife lifestyle and become 100% financially dependent on someone else. People should understand the risk of that choice. I don’t think I blame the influencers completely…it’s a broader issue - but in a way, I also think it’s irresponsible given the size of some of the platforms.

To be fair, that goes on both sides. Plenty of women are told that if they pick a 'dream career' and rack up however much debt they need to earn the degree, they'll be able to walk right into a job they love with bosses who treat them with respect and the ability to rent an apartment or buy a house in which they are the only occupant. Nobody's telling them that they'll probably spend at least five years getting asked to make the coffee and sharing an apartment with two or three roommates, or that when they do want to marry and have a baby, their workplace may be extremely unfriendly about their pregnancy and maternal leave.
Neither side is being totally honest. Either way you go, you're going to need to work hard and you won't get everything you want. But if you're careful and realistic, you'll wind up with a genuinely good life.

@@adub_from_253agreed if you want to be a tradwife go ahead it’s your life after all. The safe thing is to have some extra protection ( life insurance, prenups ) no matter what, because life is unpredictable and you can’t predict what it’s gonna throw at you.

Yeah, mostly cuz they’re not tradwives. 😂 They’re women on the internet getting hate, but… not quite the same thing?

Do women really hate men this much? Even you & kris who seem to be more nuanced, normal people... and you STILL have to sneak in some nasty comment that the guy might be secretly beating her behind the scenes???
What the actual fuck is going on.... You people are actually making me hate you.

My goodness, how times have changed! I thought I'd be saving money by baking our sweet treats and making homemade toiletries (shampoo, toothpaste) etc....but even in 2018 before all the hyper-inflation, it turned out to be a lot more affordable to just buy the Chips Ahoy and Live Clean stuff from the store. (You're pretty much screwed either way if you're celiac with the gluten intolerance like my BFF.) Buying all the ingredients adds up fast! It's quite sad, really.

@@gypsywoman9140 Yep! It is horrible how fresh food (especially produce but also animal or plant proteins) is more expensive than ultra processed crap nowadays...

Exactly. People need the power of discernment. No wonder the world is falling apart, people are too preoccupied with being mad at non issues and keep quiet about actual issues

100% YES! I need this on a plaque.

There's trad wife and "trad wife". One is just living a certain way which is your business but another is scamming people which is not

@@MalevolentSh4d0w Unless a woman is selling you a product for money and never delivering it she is not scamming you. Stop. Its people comparing themselves to others online that feel "scammed" but they`re doing it to themselves! Take responsibility!

Same! I was scared 😅

The trad wives propaganda has nothing to do with being a traditional wife.

That's because people aren't talking about traditional wives. Trad wives are the ones specifically known to push their beliefs on others which is why they aren't called "traditional" wives

exactly. I also make my own bread a lot (not a trad wife...not even a wife. I just like bread) and well...i make it the day before i eat it because...time management.

@moranthang9482 I've made my own bread, too. I started it in the morning so I could have fresh bread with lunch. Needed about four hours lead up time. It's not hard, it just takes time to knead the dough, proof it twice, and about half an hour to bake.

Yeah, the reality is the food is made from scratch long before somebody is hungry. You don't cook/bake on an empty stomach to prolong the hunger, especially with children.

yeah, that “mate” in this one came out of nowhere yet was so convincing after texan accent loool

Choosing patriarchy is not feminist. True feminism is respecting women as full human adults and as unique individuals with both the legal freedom/agency and the responsibility/judgement/consequences for making immoral choices, especially those that harm other women and girls.
